Marcellus Wiley Arrested on Domestic Battery Charge as Wife Files for Divorce and Restraining Order

Her court filings allege years of physical, sexual and financial abuse as criminal and family-court cases proceed to an arraignment on Aug. 4.

Overview

  • Wiley was arrested on July 4 after a reported hotel altercation in Orlando and was released on a $1,000 bond, with a temporary no-contact order then issued by authorities.
  • Annemarie Wiley filed for divorce and a domestic-violence restraining order that alleges a years-long pattern of physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse, including multiple rape claims.
  • A judge granted a temporary restraining order that removed Wiley from the family home, gave Annemarie temporary sole custody of the couple’s three children, and paused his visitation rights.
  • Wiley has publicly denied the allegations, saying he has videos, messages and other materials that he says will contradict the claims and that he will address the matter in court.
  • The criminal case will continue with an arraignment set for Aug. 4, while separate, earlier sexual-assault accusations by other women remain a developing parallel issue that could affect reputational and legal outcomes.
